Head Coach, Alpha

• Based onsite in Keller (Fort Worth), TX or Atlanta, GA
• Weekly pay at $150,000 annual salary. Health benefits begin day one
• Relocating for this role? Support provided

The most powerful message you can send a child who earned 99% is that it isn't the same as 100%.

At Alpha, this principle isn't up for discussion—it defines the daily work. Academic learning happens through self-paced digital tools, not teacher-led instruction. This structure allows you to focus on what truly transforms outcomes: facilitating dynamic workshops on topics like public speaking, attention management, and constructive feedback. You'll use live data and proven frameworks to drive every student toward goal completion. You'll also develop the Guides on your team. Your core assets are analytics, a tested operational playbook, and the leadership presence that commands attention from middle schoolers.

You will be responsible for a student cohort and measured against three commitments: students are engaged and enthusiastic about school, they progress academically at double the rate of conventional classrooms, and they cultivate essential capabilities for life. Coaching fellow Guides begins immediately. As you consistently produce measurable outcomes, your authority to shape program standards across the campus will expand.

Atlanta: Culturally vibrant metro area with temperate weather and housing costs more favorable than coastal cities.

Fort Worth: Zero state income tax, highly rated public schools, and a thriving community known for family amenities and expanding culinary and cultural offerings.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating structured one-hour workshops on essential life competencies (public speaking, focus, feedback exchange) for students in grades K-8, using Alpha's established curriculum
• Conducting targeted motivation sessions powered by Coachbot data and Alpha's reward mechanisms (campus currency, performance boards) to ensure every student reaches 100% goal attainment
• Developing Guides through coaching focused on program adherence and standards maintenance, ensuring each session results in clear action steps for improvement
• Managing your assigned student cohort while simultaneously building the capacity of other Guides
• Monitoring key performance indicators: student engagement scores, goal completion percentages, and Guide effectiveness data

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Teaching or providing one-on-one academic tutoring. Content mastery occurs via digital platforms.
• Creating new curricula or custom lesson content. Alpha's playbook serves as your framework, allowing you to concentrate on delivery and relationship-building.
• Accepting 99% when the target is 100%. Upholding this expectation communicates your confidence in their potential.
• Training Guides on instructional pedagogy. Since Guides do not deliver academic instruction, your coaching centers on presence, drive, and follow-through.
